The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. There is a hairline accretion to the upper horizontal edge and a few pinpoint accretions in places, most notably to the figure's hair. There are minor impressions along the extreme edges with a few associated paint losses in places, presumably a result of previous framing and only visible out of frame. There are two pinpoint paint losses to extreme lower corners and to the blue passage in the figure's hair. When examined under ultraviolet light there appears to be no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
